I recently went through Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" with my six-string acoustic guitar. I am primarily a bass player, but I can play guitar.
I am a rhythm guy, clear through to the bone marrow. I don't even HEAR lyrics. I hear the rhythm. I have always loved that song because of the rhythm. It was his first (1965) full-on electric, 'rock' song. And yet, the rhythm guitar totally carries that whole song. It doesn't actually need the other instruments.
Dylan was one of those 'pure' artists. I probably agree with the many people who decried his move to electric instruments and music. His best work was done before that change.
